The team was fun to watch all season as the boys played hard, played together and played a full game each and every time. As the games continued and reached the 4th quarter, the Rams seemed to get more energized and hungrier for that notch in the Win column. Everyone is looking forward to watching this group play as West Scarlets in 8th grade next fall and carry on the tradition the Varsity team has started. The West Scarlets are 8-0 on the season and heading into playoffs. Here’s hoping they can add a State trophy to the Jug (won in the West vs. East game 10/20!) in that trophy case at the high school!
The DMMS D1 Volleyball team ended the season on a sourer note with losses to cross town rival East and Fairmont. Kels had fun playing with her friends and seems to have really improved as a player. Being the competitive athlete she is, she was hoping for a better season but it seems like there is a lot of potential with the serious players and next year should be another great experience.
Next up for the Kopp Crew: Basketball. School ball for both Kels and Lil’ TK starts with the Parent Meeting the last week of October. Lil’ TK again tried out for the traveling b-ball program in town as well and was placed on the “White (B)” team. Expecting practices to start soon for all of it…Ang and Big TK might actually be busier with b-ball than baseball/softball in the summer with 3 different teams to coordinate!
Mankato/North Mankato got deluged with rain at the end of September - some towns around us didn't have running water for a week due to flooding at their water treatment plants...everyone seemed to have water in their basements (but not us - Thank you Lord!). The MN River got freakishly high...these pics from the stoplights at Lookout Drive and Lee Blvd - near the Judson Bottom Road - which was almost completely under water!
Ang is excited to FINALLY have a real grown-up bedroom to call her own. After 10 years of working slowly on the rest of the house, the bedroom finally got painted and decorated. Now to get going on Lil’ TK’s room, the kids’ bathroom and Ang’s office…it never ends!
